Postfix Completion
for Widnows and Unix
for OS X
Overview
Postfix code completion lets you transform an already typed expression to another
one based on the postfix you type after a dot, the type of the expression, and its context.
This transformation is performed by expanding the postfix-specific predefined template. For example,
the .if postfix applied to a boolean expression wraps it with an if statement.
See more at: Postfix Code Completion.
On this page, enable and disable postfix templates and appoint key to activate the template expansion.
